Most sound advises said rent for a year after the move to a new place before you buy. But I'm only interested in getting away from the cold for month or two. I was looking into buying but want but occupying more than two months out of the year. If lap swim pool is accessible to renter, I wouldn't want the hassle of owning a home at TV since I don't want the hassle of renting out when I'm not there.
I was able to get to travel abroad during winter months but due to COVID, I wasn't able to travel in winter 2020. Then I started searching and found TV. I like that TV has lap swim pool, road bike path, and jogging path. It would be good place to continue the training during the winter months without traveling abroad. Also, I could drive down there from NYC.
You thought and suggestion is appreciated from both renters and landlords. Also, what's the best sites to rent in TV for a month or two months? Thank you.

Definitely rent - you may, or may not, decide you want to live here full time. Contrary to what a RE agent may tell you to push you to buy, this place is hardly very friendly.
I started to rent here in 2004. Soon after decided I did not wish to live here full time, so I rent out my home and visit 2 months a year, which is quite enough.
As others have observed, without knowing your finances, it is really not possible to give a clear answer, only what works for each of us individually.
